It closely mirrored the 2015 Toni Collette and Adam Scott feature film about a fabled half-goat, half-demon that terrorizes those who have lost the Christmas spirit, and it was popular with theme park guests. However, true horror fans couldn’t help but inquire via social media about when Dougherty’s cult classic “Trick ‘r Treat” would become an attraction.

“Trick ‘r Treat” was originally released in 2007 and stars Anna Paquin, Brian Cox and Dylan Baker. The movie focuses on Halloween traditions and an unspoken set of rules that should be followed via a series of four different stories that are all tied together by Sam, the iconic orange footie pajama-wearing child/creature that pops up throughout the film with a burlap sack over his head and his deadly pumpkin-print sucker.

The maze will take fans to Warren Valley, Ohio on Halloween night to celebrate the holiday inside some of the films most iconic scenes and among some of the most recognizable characters.

Halloween Horror Nights officially kicks off on Friday, Sept. 14, and runs on select nights through Sunday, Nov. 4. For more information and updates on attraction announcements and ticket on-sale dates, visit HalloweenHorrorNights.com.
